Fat Prophets was founded in 2000 by Sydney stockbroker Angus Geddes. The company has since grown to become an internationally recognised and trusted financial services brand. From modest beginnings in Australia, Fat Prophets has expanded the foot print to include offices in Sydney, London and Auckland.

There are three main pillars to the Fat Prophets success story:

1. We have a passion and an absolute dedication to making you money.

2. We are totally committed to searching for and picking the stocks with the very best chance of rising in value in the weeks, months and years ahead.

3. We will offer you an outstanding level of service.

When we launched in 2000 we saw a finance industry that was out of touch with investors’ needs. A new breed of investor had entered the market in need of objective and trustworthy stock market advice. More than a decade on, our research and investment return track record speaks for itself. This is why our membership and investor base continue to grow and many of our founding Members are still with us today.

Although we have grown considerably over the years, my colleagues and I remained true to our core principles and values. The mission that we set ourselves back in 2000 is as true today as the day we launched - to make your investment account as FAT as possible.

Our research advice and funds management services are completely objective. We are not paid by any of the companies that we recommend in our research reports because our members’ interests have always come first.

Our excellent performance track record and overall transparency distinguishes us from much of the competition in the investment arena. Our analysts are often seen on financial cable and free to air television providing insight and opinion on the important issues of the day. You may already have seen me or one of our analysts on Bloomberg, CNBC, Sky Business or the ABC.

We are also regularly quoted in the business press and other national and international newspapers. When the financial media want an objective opinion, they talk to us.

Another core principle that I put in place from day one is our dedication to transparency and accountability. Every open and closed out buy recommendation that has ever made in any of our research reports is available for review, as is the performance of our funds management services.

Yours sincerely,

Angus Geddes
CEO and Founder, Fat Prophets

At the heart of Fat Prophets is a core philosophy and approach to investing. We are value investors which, more often than not, encompasses a contrarian approach to investing. We combine a top down selection process with respect to key sectors in the market and then find the right stocks using bottom up value driven selection criteria. Fundamentals and technicals are important when deployed together in combination.

This is the essence of our approach.

We provide general investment advice via online research reports detailing buy and sell recommendations along with investment & portfolio management and stockbroking services.

Our Members have the choice of accessing six different research services covering markets such as UK, Europe, United States, Asia and Australia and the more focused mining & resources sector. Our recommendations have a robust performance track record which has attracted a loyal and committed subscriber base from around the world.

For those members who are short on time to manage their personal investments we provide a specialised Wealth Management service. This service includes our market leading MDA (Managed Discretionary Account) which has been extremely popular due to its flexibility, transparency and competitive cost structure.

Fat Prophets Research

As a subscriber to Fat Prophets, members will receive regular research recommendations and reports published each week, along with a daily update on the markets written by CEO and founder Angus Geddes.

You will have the option to select the reports covering the markets in which you invest, which currently includes Australia, Europe and the US. We also offer dedicated mining reports covering the European and Australian markets, in addition to our Trading Report which looks for short-term opportunities across global equity, commodity and foreign-exchange markets.

Within our weekly research reports, our stock market commentary covers many topics and is definitely not a product of mainstream thinking. Themes covered include the state of the markets, commodity prices, the REAL drivers of the gold and oil price, the US dollar and the economy in general.

At Fat Prophets, you’ll be introduced to a new way of thinking about the financial markets. If you only read and listen to the mainstream financial news, Fat Prophets will definitely provide a fresh perspective.

You’ll receive a weekly email alert notifying you of the report’s publication (same time each week), which includes a brief overview of the report.

Remember that by the time you receive the Fat Prophets reports, we have already pored over hundreds of companies to search for the very best value stocks to help you to create a market beating share portfolio.

In addition to our weekly research, Angus Geddes publishes a daily commentary discussing the main factors influencing the markets, investment opportunities, underlying trends and predictions and forecasts for the future. This daily comment is sent to our members before the market opens. Members also have access to a weekly audio commentary provided by Angus which is updated every Friday.

Our Wealth Management service provides all the benefit of our investment expertise, specially tailored to your individual circumstances. Our MDA (Managed Discretionary Account) is at the vanguard of the Wealth Management industry in terms of its level of service and flexibility. Our MDA allows investors to grant day-to-day management of their portfolio to us, while also retaining control over their funds.

Rather than blindly handing your hard-earned wealth over to a Fund Manager, whereupon it quickly disappears into an opaque fund, the MDA is similar to inviting the Fund Manager to access your online trading platform.

MDA investors retain full ownership of the securities in which they are invested, can view their investments in real time throughout the day and have constant access to a dedicated advisor. MDA investors also have access to a full range of performance and tax reports which are only ever a few mouse clicks away.
